Shy Lau plans to spend the summer at a traditional boys' camp, where he feels like a complete outsider among the other participants. The local boys are all more confident and louder; they tease Lau for his fragility. The only person Lau feels close to is older Aksel, a cool guy from Copenhagen, but Aksel would never admit that he's starting to develop feelings for Lau... This summer coming-out series premiered in the competition of the prestigious international television festival Series Mania in Lille.
